Have read this story and yesterdays post. Have yet to see where there was a kidnapping. These three women paid to be slipped illegally into the united states. When you run with the wolves don't be surprised if one of them bites you. They should be returned home were they will be safe.
As to the three dirt bags, a long swim with concrete wouldn't bother me one bit. But they are charged with the wrong crime. They were smuggling and drug running, something the head of the boarder patrol in that area said they didn't do anything about.
So will she be deported after the trial? Don’t count on it. Our deportation procedures are totally FUBAR
“A person commits the offense of aggravated kidnapping if he intentionally or knowingly abducts another person and uses or exhibits a deadly weapon during the commission of the offense. Tex. Pen. Code Ann. §20.04(b)(Vernon 1994 & Supp. 2002). (3) “Abduct” means to restrain a person with the intent to prevent his liberation by either secreting or holding him in a place where he is not likely to be found, or using or threatening to use deadly force. Tex. Pen. Code Ann. §20.01(2)(Vernon 1994). “Restrain” means to restrict a person’s movements without consent, so as to interfere substantially with the person’s liberty, by moving the person from one place to another or by confining the person. Tex. Pen. Code Ann. §20.01(1). As is applicable to the present case, such restraint is without consent if it is accomplished by force, intimidation, or deception. Tex. Pen. code. ann. §20.01(1)(A).”
How do you feel about the sexual assault charges?
No. I'd put it differently -- they weren't charged with enough crimes. This shouldn't be the only charge, and any sentences should run serially rather than concurrently. And, there should be hard time ("Ninety nine years on the hard rock pile.")
Tuesday, Tellez alleged the women were only continuing with their testimony because they were seeking visas in exchange for their information, a topic Cardenas re-visited during his questioning of Wednesdays witness.
"Are you making this up to get a visa?" he asked.
This sounds like a scam set up by the Mexican consulate and Mexican nationals to get visas. What's next?
